9 days member but no download access?
« on: June 20, 2010, 02:13:52 AM »
Hi.  I got registered to BakatBT around the 10 of june. I use uTorrent 1.8.3 and have a 1.069 ratio. For the torrents got from here seeders do appear in () but 0.000 of avalaibility. Zero K of download yet. Did I miss something in the registration process?
  Thanks a lot,

I'm not sure if that was worded properly but I think I have a similar problem.

I'm using uTorrent 2.0.2 and have gone through my Network Setup Guide. It says both my downloading and uploading is fine and that I can connect to others and others can connect to me (I have the green tick icon at the bottom). 5 peers always seem to be able to connect to me yet I can't get more than about 2kb/s upload. renas2 is lucky enough to have a positive ratio. At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna be stuck on about 0.001 soon. I don't wanna be one of those bottom 250 uploaders :( Were there more settings I was supposed to check in the Preferences?

uTorrent 1.8.3 is not on the torrent client whitelist. Whitelist.

EDIT: As for you NELi, you have only downloaded 50MB of data. As such you can't exactly seed back very much to anyone. You can download about 25GB before the mods will worry about your ratio. I suggest you download a few popular series, maybe some freeleech stuff as back ups.

Once you have downloaded a few torrents with reasonable amounts of leechers you should be able to seed back reasonably well.

Ohh no kidding. I thought as soon I downloaded any data, I would be able to seed that data right back. Well thank you very much for clearing that up. Hehe that's very embarrassing.

I was about to say that it was suspicious that you had any numeric ratio if you were using uTorrent 1.8.3 for less than 10 days, but then I checked your tracker profile and you actually have no ratio with BBT. That was kinda misleading.

And NELiXERY, I'm amazed you can even seed at 2KBps with only 50MB of data...

Hi,
  Thanks for the indication about the uTorrent version. I will finish my outside BakaBT actual downloads and change it. I do not want to loose data.
     I did put my uTorrent ratio of before my inscription just to indicate that my utorrent was to my knowledge in working order with a positive ratio. Of course I have no ratio with BakaBT since I have zero K downloaded. I did not want to mislead anyone.
    I did not know P2P programs could be that selective.
    Thanks,
        Rene.

updating to a newer version of utorrent will keep your settings and partially downloaded torrents intact.
